Lake Wilson Park Trail

Dogs Leashed

Features Lake · Views · Wildlife

5 minutes from Wilson, NC. Portable bathroom available with permanent bathroom facilities planned. No fee required for access.

Mostly smooth with some tree roots protruding in some spots.

Trail starts and ends in the parking lot. Almost entirely flat with the exception of one hill about halfway through the trail, but the hill is only about a 40 ft elevation gain over a hundred yards or so. Some parts of the trail can be muddy for several days after a rain but alternative routes are available. A bridge crosses over the water in the back of the lake and a smaller bridge crosses over the creek on the bottom side of the dam. Trail markers are not used as the trail is well established.

Squirrels, Birds, Snakes (occasionally), mosquitoes, etc.
